What does it mean to partake of the sacrament unworthily? The bishop is the judge in Israel and responsible for making this decision within the ward. If there is a question, we should counsel with the bishop in regard to ourselves or information concerning another person. Partaking of the sacrament is an experience in honoring and strengthening one’s covenants with the Lord. Let us avoid making the decision in a flippant way concerning the sacrament. Let us prayerfully consider our worthiness before the Lord and act accordingly.
